Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Tigers.

Ramirez was plunked and scored the opening run in the third inning. The star third baseman then stepped up in an eighth-inning rally, with his two-run double being the go-ahead hit. He's struggled a bit in August, batting .242 with one home run, though he's added 14 RBI and six runs scored in 17 contests. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .281/.351/.534 with 22 homers, 98 RBI, 65 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 493 plate appearances.

Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Sheldon Neuse will pick up a start in the infield in place of Bride, who went 2-for-12 with three walks and two RBI while cracking the lineup in each of the past four games at either second base or first base. With Seth Brown seeing more time in the outfield of late with Ramon Laureano (oblique) on the injured list and with veterans Jed Lowrie, Stephen Piscotty and Elvis Andrus having recently been released, Bride should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role the rest of the way.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with grand slam scored in Wednesday's victory over the Rays.

Donaldson hit a walk-off grand slam off lefty reliever Jalen Beeks with nobody out in the 10th inning. The 36-year-old is significantly better on the road with a .817 OPS and nine home runs in 192 at-bats compared to a .554 OPS and three home runs in 158 at-bats at home. Add this third baseman to the list of struggling Yankees as he has a .138 batting average and .241 slugging percentage in 29 at-bats during his last eight games.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

His first-inning blast off Daniel Lynch proved to be the game-winning hit, thanks to the efforts of Tyler Mahle (shoulder) and the Minnesota bullpen. Miranda is putting together a strong August, batting .322 (19-for-59) through 15 games to boost his slash line on the season to .286/.332/.473 with 12 homers and 51 RBI in 79 contests.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 11-7 victory over the Angels.

Suarez contributed two of Seattle's 11 runs in Wednesday's game thanks to a fifth-inning home run that also brought around Mitch Haniger. It was Suarez's 20th homer of the year and his fourth this month. The third baseman's lone hit in the game was his first since Aug. 13. Suarez hit .257 in June, .218 in July, but is batting only .170 so far in August. He struck out twice in Wednesday's game, a problem that has plagued him throughout the year. He has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined this season.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Davis' solo shot in the sixth inning gave the Giants a one-run lead, but Arizona stormed back in the eighth to pull out the win. The long ball was Davis' fourth in 12 games since he joined the Giants in a trade Aug. 2. The veteran is slashing .364/.447/.758 with his new club.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Milwaukee.

Offense was hard to come by in the contest, and Muncy provided what turned out to be the winning run when he launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning. The long ball was the sixth in August for the veteran and accounted for his 13th RBI through 13 games. After struggling through the first four months of the campaign, Muncy has caught fire in August, adding to the homer and RBI totals with a .340/.415/.830 slash line.

Baty went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 9-7 victory over Atlanta.

Baty took Jake Odorizzi deep in his first career at-bat. Baty only played six games at Triple-A Syracuse, but he mashed at the Double-A level to the tune of a .312/.406/.544 slash line, and Wednesday's homer gives some early validation to the team's decision to promote him. It was also a plus that Baty didn't go down on strikes in his debut, considering he'd mustered a 25.0 percent strikeout rate in Double-A Binghamton.

Peraza (hand) has gone 8-for-26 with two home runs and three stolen bases in six games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since returning to the lineup Aug. 10.

Peraza exited an Aug. 7 game early after he was hit in the right hand by a pitch, but he avoided any major damage and was back in action just three days later. The 22-year-old middle infielder is slashing .258/.325/.450 with 17 home runs and 29 stolen bases over his 385 plate appearances for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Longoria is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria has appeared in seven games since returning from the injured list Aug. 8 and has gone 5-for-19 with a home run, three RBI and four runs. Tommy La Stella will serve as the designated hitter while J.D. Davis starts at third base.
